We're dividing 555851 by 48 
We want to divide 555851 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 55, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
75 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 48 from 75 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 278 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 38.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115.0
Deduct 240 from 278 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 385 / 48

On to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 385 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1158.0
If we take 384 away from 385, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
48 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11580.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
110 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11580.2
Subtracting 96 from 110 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
140 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11580.22
If we subtract 96 from 140, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11580.22 with a remaining 0.044.
